Investigators then found a deceased woman inside the home, the Worcerster DA’s office said.
The man’s identity has not been released at this time due to the domestic nature of the incident, a Worcester County DA spokesperson told Boston 25 News.
The man is expected to be arraigned in Leominster District Court on Monday.
Neighbors described the area as a nice and silent neighborhood to Boston 25 on Friday night.
“Very quiet. It’s a nice neighborhood,” said Nicole Chiumento. “So, seeing something like this is very out of the blue.”
